130 or 150 amp Alternator upgrade (2 Viewers)

[bjowett]

Slapping a 130 amp alternator to the 1FZ has turned out to be very doable. The most difficult part is the adjustment bracket for the lower mount, it needs to be custom made. Not something I am keen on cutting out by hand multiple times...

A friend of mine recently purchased a 2D CAD CAM Plasma table, mass production of this bracket is suddenly easy... how many people want this? If enough people show interest, I'll crunch the numbers.

I'll take 2.

 

[SR.GRINGO]

I'll take one. So you are using the tundra Alt. and changing the pulley?

 

[bjowett]

Yes, the pulley bolts on to the Tundra alternator. BUT, I do need to verify one thing. I have two FZJ80 stock alternators, one had a pulley that did not have the proper offset, and one did. I need to verify which pulley works, and what vehicles it came on.

Count me in for a few

 

[MaddBaggins]

I'm down for 1. I was watching your other thread about the bracket and the Tundra alt. Thanks for setting that up.

 

[Corbet]

I'll take one, cost?

 

[bjowett]

The more the cheaper... I'll crunch some numbers.

 

[landtank]

count me in for one.

Does a new belt need to be sourced, or can we use the stock belts?

I'm interested.

 

[bjowett]

Stock length belts work fine. The belts are a little tough to get off when losening the alternator only, the larger case dosn't allow it to pivot in as close to block as the stocker. Worst cases, stock belts and maybe pull the waterpump pulley to replace the belts, or use a slightly longer belts.

Do I get one for free since I started that thread?

I might be talked into one for the right price.

They shouldn't cost much....

 

[alaskacruiser]

Count me in. Thanks, man!

 

[GXO]

hmm, I would be down for one.

How much is the tundra alt...that is what hurts most I suspect

 

[bjowett]

New? No idea. There are 4 pages of used on www.car-part.com ranging from $45 - $200+. I paid $100 for mine, it came from a 3k mile wreck, looks new. Check the link above.

I'm in for one. I assume the 130 amp alternators are in all 2002-2006 V8 Tundras?

PS. If you need any particular measurements, I have a 2002 V8 Tundra in my driveway

 

[Brian894X4]

I could go for 1.

 

[cmadness]

Sure why not, put me down for one.

 

[dfmorse]

I'll take one as well.
